Let’s explore some of the best fireworks spots in the Outer Banks along with tips on how to enjoy them, and why staying local is the key to the perfect Outer Banks 4th of July.
Avalon Pier – Kill Devil Hills
Avalon Pier in Kill Devil Hills is one of the best spots in the Outer Banks for watching July 4th fireworks. The town hosts an impressive display around 9:15 PM on July 4th, with many lining up along Avalon Pier or on the shoreline to watch. Bring your own beach chairs or blankets and get there early to find your spot! There are also places where you can get snacks or dinner as you wait for the show to start.
Nags Head Fishing Pier – Nags Head
Another great place to watch July 4th fireworks is the Nags Head Fishing Pier. Each year the town hosts their fireworks spectacular! Watch from the pier or on the beach as these bursts of color light up the sky over the Atlantic. If you can’t grab a spot on the pier, you can still see the show from local town beaches.
Avon Fishing Pier – Avon
You might be sensing a theme here. Piers are great spots for watching Fourth of July fireworks! Further south along Hatteras Island, the best spot for watching 4th of July fireworks is Avon Fishing Pier. Have a front row seat from the shores of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. If the Avon Pier fills up, head over to the Avon Beach Klub for a chance to see the show.
Manteo Fireworks at Roanoke Island Festival Park
This is the best spot to watch the fireworks that’s not a pier! Come to Roanoke Island Festival Park, and in addition to the fireworks, you’ll find live music, food trucks, games for kids, trivia, and so much more. This is a great spot to come if you are wanting to do a little more than just see the fireworks. The fireworks will be launched over the Roanoke Sound and Shallowbag Bay. As was true of the other spots, bring your chair and blankets and settle into the right spot.

Grills for a Classic Fourth Cookout
It’s not Fourth of July without a barbecue. Grill up steaks, burgers and hot dogs at your rental that features a grill and outdoor spaces to enjoy it all in. Get your crew together, fire up the grill, and start serving up your favorite to enjoy before going to the show at the Avalon, Nags Head, or Avon piers.
Pools to Keep You Cool
It’s July, which means the dog days of summer have begun. Cool off by going for a swim in the community pool of your vacation rental. Work on your tan as you lounge in the sun with a cold drink and then get ready for a night of fireworks.
